When we designed Apollo, we decided that we could create some really good notification emails without using HTML. There are, no doubts, several advantages when you use text-only emails: spam filters never seem to bother you; there is never a formatting problem (and believe me, different email clients can render things very differently); finally, they are easier to generate.
The only problem, is that they look "plain". Very "plain".
Apollo makes your life easier, by giving everybody a simple view of the “big picture” for any project. For this to work, it's important that everything about the project is kept inside Apollo. Apollo's brand new email integration makes this much, much easier. Let's have a look:
You can reply to comments to tasks by email. When somebody comments on a task, the receiving users can now simply hit “reply” knowing that their reply will become a comment to that task. Yes, it's that easy! Our users often told us how their customers weren't keen on logging into Apollo to add comments to tasks. They would go as far as replying to that comment with a private email. This is understandable, as the most natural action to respond to a comment that came by email is to simply hit “reply”. Well, “reply button it is”, you could say! Blackberry addicts will also find this very useful.
